l 72 WHEELOCK Baby Party On the fourteenth of February amidst great merriment the dig- nified Seniors went back to their childhood in response to the Junior's invitation to a Baby Party. In the school room which was gaily decorated, a heart arrayed girl offered each Senior a red heart bear- ing her partnerls number, and a boy gave the Juniors a correspond- ing arrow Steal Your Partner,'? Farmer in the Dellf' Drop the Handkerchiefv and a 'cVirginia Reel, ending in a Grand Klarcli, followed in happy succession Miss Wheelock, Mrs. Harriman and Miss Laing, acting as judges, awarded the prize for the best costume to Nlargaret Davis, although Jessie and her Rufiiesf' Sissy Boy Barb, the 'clam Smeared Twins, the Twins in Blue, and the 'cRomper Girls made the decision diliicult. Of course the ice- cream and cake were received with delight. Several songs and dances by Nlildred Dolbeare and stories by our Senior Champions brought enthusiastic applause. The party ended in a genuine old- fashioned romp. 36' Can You Imagine hlarion Horton lost for words? Hazel McLellan talking too much? Eleanor Albee without her spats? Jean Turnbull sitting still?

- -.-...f df -fs-..ff.r1.ani-' -' - '- if - ---- - WHEELOCK 71 Senior Party Un Friday evening, the seventeenth of January, we had the long postponed party for the Juniors. It was very informal, but we all vowed afterwards we had not had such fun in days. They all arrived about seven thirty and to avoid that stiffness which often comes when large numbers of only rather intimately acquainted people get together, we decided to 'cbreak the icei' so to speak, with a grand march and incidentally a grand chatter. We had devised a scheme whereby a Junior and a Senior might match colors and thus partners were obtained. After the grand march we were all highly entertained by some of our talented Seniors. 'We had an amusing skit, a clever impersonation of one of Fran- ces W'hite's songs, and a story by our famous class story-teller. After that we were all thoroughly livened up and good friends with our guests and we made merry until it was time for every Senior to get ice-cream and cake for her Junior. ' i After singing some class songs, Junior and Senior responses we ended the party in an old fashioned snake dance, which reminded hfliss Wfheelock and Mrs. Harriman -so strongly of their parties. Goodnight ladiesl' echoed through the halls about ten o'clock every one vowing that we had had such a good time with so little trouble that-we ought to get together more often. ,
